My Puppy Love (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 7 – This is War!

This is now the third barangay that we visited wherein he has to speak to explain about his platforms. My father was surprised when he saw me with Alex's team a while ago but didn’t say anything about it. I was amazed at how passionate Alex is in serving people it is very evident in his eyes. He’s very sincere and down to earth. The people seem to love him so much. They’re listening to him and cheering for him. It made me so proud of him. This is the first time that I witnessed this side of him. I thought I knew everything about him, but looking at him now, I realized I was wrong. Now I realized that this is not his ambition, this is his passion. I was so busy intently looking and thinking about him that I was taken aback when we locked eyes while he is on stage. He winked at me which made my heart skip a beat. I involuntarily touched my chest. I'm so sure that I'm blushing right now. Heart relax, he’ll be your ex soon. Something deep inside me seems not to agree with my mind. And again, I shake it off.

He is now shaking hands with the people, some even asked for a selfie photo with him which he happily allowed. I know he’s tired since he’s been doing this for hours now but he seems not to care. He’s really enjoying it. It took him a few minutes before finally being done with it.

I noticed that he’s sweating due to the hot temperature. I quickly pulled out bottled water and a hand towel to help him out. I was only a few meters away when Carmela suddenly appeared from nowhere. I stopped on my track. Alex cannot see me since he’s facing the other side. She automatically wiped the sweat on Alex’s face and neck and handed him the bottled water which he drank right away. I am now more than irritated. She gave me a devilish grin and continue what she’s doing! I watched her in disbelief! I can’t believe this witch! She’s now stroking Alex’s back in my horror!

“Alex your shirt is wet. You have to change now.” She said innocently. You b***h! This is war!

“Love!” I called out. Alex automatically looked back and walked towards me giving the bottled water to Carmela. She looked at me sharply, yes b***h, he’s mine. Then I gave her a sly smile to annoy her even more.

“Love I thought you’re with your dad.”

“No Love, I can’t leave you here unattended.” I said a bit louder than needed, making sure Carmela will hear it. He laughed lightly.

“Silly, Mela is here to take care of everything for me. She’s my assistant remember?” He pinched my cheeks but it didn’t make me laugh at all.

“There are things that she’s not supposed to do.” I cannot hide my irritation now. Carmela is obviously flirting with you, i***t! In front of your fiancé. He probably noticed my not so good mood now.

“Okay, I’m sorry love. C’mon. Let’s have lunch first. Probably you’re hungry.” He said holding my hand.

“Alex, you have to change into this, you might get sick.” I rolled my eyes upon hearing Carmela’s voice from nowhere again, is she some sort of mushroom, appearing just anywhere, seriously?!

“You’re so sweet Carmela, maybe you’re tired now. You may join the team. I’ll help Alex.” I sweetly snatched the shirt from Carmela’s hand while the other is still holding on to Alex’s hand.

“I’m okay. It’s my job really.” She answered back with a fake smile. The nerve of this b***h!

“I insist. You should rest. I also need some alone time with my fiancé.” I said firmly. Alex looked at us a little bit puzzled.

“Actually, Leila is right, you should rest. I know you’re tired.” He said gently which is not very good to my ear. Is he concern about her?! “C’mon Leila.” He tugged me along with him. He pulled me towards the car even before I processed my thoughts. 

We sat on the back seat. The driver quickly got out to give us some privacy. Without a warning, he removed his shirt in front of my innocent eyes! My eyes almost popped out! It travels from his perfect face down to his perfectly chiseled body and down to--, oh god stop Leila! Stop right now! Since when you became so lustful?! I felt my throat seems to be drying out. I need water right now. When I let my eyes traveled back up to his face, I met his teasing eyes. Is he aware I'm checking him out? Oh gosh! I instantly looked away. I’m now blushing profusely. I feel so hot. I fan myself using my hand.

“You need water?” he asked with a hint of a smile on his voice. Such a brute!

“N-no.” Oh good Lord! That’s the only word I was able to mumble. s**t! What’s wrong with me. He gently laughs.

“Hey, I thought you’re going to help me. Why aren’t you looking at me?” He said playfully. I looked at him to answer but instantly looked away when I saw him not wearing the shirt yet. Why don’t you wear your shirt now Alexander seriously! Is he teasing me right now?!

“Y-you c-can do it yourself.” And now I’m stuttering! Really Leila!

“Hey look at me Leila. Are you afraid of me?” He said gently but it registered sexily to my ears. Of course, I’m not afraid of him! I forced myself to face him. Leila relax, it’s just Alex!

“W-why should I?!” I tried my very best to focus on his face and not look anywhere else. Not even his delicious body.  I can feel my heart now beating so fast. He moved closer to me and as my reflex, I moved back as well.

“I don’t know, you tell me.” He moved closer again, and I moved backward, he moved closer again, and now I can feel the car door on my back. Dead end! He’s looking at my eyes so intently as if trying to read my mind. My heartbeat is beating louder now that I cannot even hear my own voice. With our faces only inches apart that one wrong move I’ll be able to kiss him. I gulped. He’s now looking at my lips.

“Later love, later.” He sexily winked at me before finally moving away. I finally let go of the breath that I held since a while ago. I know that my face is so red now.

“I need help to wipe the sweat at my back. Mela usually does it for me.” He said after a while I automatically turn to him upon hearing that name. Mela used to do this for him?! What a b***h!

“Give it to me!” I grabbed the towel on his hand and motioned him to turn his back at me. I started wiping his broad back then I felt him trying to subdue a laugh.

“You’re really are something love.” I don’t know what he meant by that but decided not to ask any further about it. I’m busy checking out his sexy back anyway. I don’t think I need my lunch anymore.
